This problem did not arise with JT. It's been around for quite a while, yes?

Yes, since his fathers time. Remember nationalizing the oil industry? Well that was the start of the war between the Liberal Party and Alberta and now they're getting their pound of flesh.

So we're paying $1.40/L for $15.75 oil? Yeah we'll all be so much better off when it goes to $100 bbl again!

The French spent last weekend protesting the government ( Macron the hero leader of Europe )
increasing taxes, so with oil around 60$ worldwide, the French are now paying

1.60 euro/liter at the pump.

That's about $2.50 / liter for you.

Anybody remember this little gem from April 06 2018.

Canada’s oil industry is in better place now than with previous governments: Trudeau

While in Alberta, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government was able to get pipeline approval by growing the economy and protecting the environment at the same time.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I think about how much bullshit he spins everytime he stands in front of a mic.

Long-term Liberal plan to shutter the Canadian oil and gas industry is now undeniably in full-swing:

$1:

There’s long been a view in Alberta that the Trudeau government is intentionally winding down Alberta’s oilsands, and ultimately the entire fossil fuel industry.

This belief has a basis in fact. Indeed, you could say it’s not a fake fact, but an honest-to-goodness fact fact.

It was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself who said in January 2017: “We can’t shut down the oilsands tomorrow. We need to phase them out. We need to manage the transition off of our dependence on fossil fuels.

“That is going to take time. And, in the meantime, we have to manage that transition.”

He said that to a friendly audience in Peterborough, Ont. A few days later he was in Calgary, where criticism had erupted.

Asked about his comments, he said, “um, I misspoke . . . I said something the way I shouldn’t have said it.”

But Trudeau didn’t say he’d been wrong. He just wished, it seemed, that he hadn’t made himself so obvious.

The key word in Trudeau’s Peterborough remarks was “manage.” As in, “we have to manage that transition.”

That’s what the Liberals have been doing since being elected in 2015.

They’re managing down Alberta’s industry by imposing new regulations, killing pipeline options, withdrawing tax incentives and passing energy-hostile bills such as C-48 and C-69.

Their goal isn’t to shutter Alberta’s main industry tomorrow. They see it as a multi-decade thing.

But managing an industry down is kind of like nudging a toboggan at the top of a steep hill.

Give it a little push and it might slide a short way. Or it might suddenly speed up, run loose and smash into a tree.

That is suddenly happening. A variety of factors encouraged by the Liberals have now run out of control, turning Alberta’s managed slide into an abrupt and uncontrolled plunge.

The Liberals may get the moribund industry they envision — about a generation early.

Expect the billions spent on Transmountain to be written off sometime next year if the court review fails or if a line-up of opponents succeeds in paralyzing the approval panels again. Canada will simply have to learn to live without the one-third to one-half of national revenue that the oil & gas industry provides.

Liberals Love Terror-Oil because it's 2018 or something.
